The actress and singer Mar Contreras, fifth place in the last edition of La Casa de los Famosos México, issued a warning to future participants: within the reality show they will face versions of themselves that they may not have known. Her top tip: keep the happy place in mind.
Emotional survival tips
Contreras, known for novels such as For loving without law, explained to EL UNIVERSAL that the contestants must know that they will be judged by millions of people. “They are going to experience very strong emotional issues. It is a stage of survival, there are many ‘selves’ that they are going to encounter,” he said.
The actress shared some advice from her husband: “When I felt lost, I remembered my happy place. That made me reconnect with myself.”
The new season starts on April 26. So far, those confirmed are Cynthia Klitbo, Ximena Herrera, Arantza Ruiz, the singer Yahir, the actor Ernesto Laguardia and the content creator Karina Torres.
Impact on your career
Before entering, Contreras already knew reality shows: he participated in Operación Triunfo. He recommends not speaking badly about anyone and assuming that the exposure can be positive or negative. In his case, he went from 180 thousand to more than 800 thousand followers on social networks.
“Many people who didn’t know who I was met me. My networks grew, and that benefits the producers. I opened the door of my life and that generated empathy. But with or without the house, I am the same actress, the same quality at work,” she stated.
Recently, Contreras resumed her acting career as the antagonist of Land of love and courage, José Alberto Castro’s new telenovela that will premiere in the fall.
